Mark Katz

'Mark Katz (34) is based near Skipton in North Yorkshire and he's climbed Font 8b, French 8b and E8. My inspirations are those projects that I still want to do and legends like Fred Nicole and Malcolm Smith. In the future I'd love to go back to Rocklands in South Africa, nail some grit projects and (full-time work permitting!) keep improving. I think my biggest achievement has been climbing Font 8b and still working full-time...the fifth ascent of High Fidelity Font 8b at Caley this year was real buzz.'
